Oh well, even if he does join the convoy we will have a bit of freedom while we wait instead of being stuck in lobbies.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and help

Thanks for your suggestions, Egypt

The taxi prive is about right Roger. I know a driver in Luxor and he charges about £30 but I wouldnt recommend him for that journey as he has the old stinky Peug!

OMG, don't say that! I've no idea what we're going to get The hotel is a small friendly place and they pride themselves on quality, so hopefully they have sorted something decent for us ( a 2008 Merc with aircon, et al...??? ).

Ask your hotel in Luxor to book you a 'Limo' for the drive to Hurghada. By 'Limo' we're not talking 'stretch' here we are talking of one of the modern Daewoos's! (Orange & Blue)Buts its better than an old stinky Peugeot. Should cost 35 GBP.

Hi Scotty - that is a really good return price for Hurghada - well done! We all like a bargain.

Good luck with the apartment and furnishing it. I have just had news that my developer has ' promised ' mine will be finished end of March.
